I've not seen this myself, and if you have relatively few nets bouncing
around your swamp, you shouldn't be seeing this problem.  We run p4200-10's
in a fairly large net with no problems.  Do you have a new ethernet controller?
Are you running DECNET?  How many routes are you dealing with?

As for not deleting routes upon the timeout of that route, the RIP spec 
says you're supposed to do that.  Ford algorithms have enough problems
as it is without 'hold-ups' causing more pain.  They might buy you something
in your case, but could mess up the net you are connected to.
